X-Men: Apocalypse

The big movie this Memorial Day weekend has arrived and it delivers a good tight story with cool obligatory hero moments that do not disappoint.  The Apocalypse story arc from the Marvel comics has been greatly compressed and streamline but the heart of the story is still there even for the most obsessive fan boy.  The standout characters are Magneto, Mystique, Nightcrawler and of course Jean Grey played by Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Sophie Turner.  When Magneto and Jean Grey unleash their powers it is cinematic magic that would have been awesome to see in IMAX but alas Disney's Alice Through the Looking Glass has those screens locked up this weekend. And yes you have to stay through the credits - fan boys will get what I mean once they decipher what it means for the future of the X-Men cinematic universe.
